Team Philosophy

Viewtiful Joe is a dedicated Point character, due to his high support needs and limited support value. He does best with a strong horizontal assist such as Bolts of Balthakk or Unibeam, and additionally benefits greatly from a vertical assist like Hidden Missiles or Jam Session. In general, Viewtiful Joe teams tend to take the form of Point/Support/Support due to his demanding needs of support.

Notable Supports

Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange is ViewJoe's single best friend for a variety of reasons. Joe can DHC to Strange for Palm loops off Superjump height Desperado. He can additionally hard tag strange and use his Shocking Pink move to OTG after he tags out, allowing Strange to go into palm loops from that. Furthermore, Joe's bomb can be used to activate Strange's counter super, leading to massive damage at the end of a Viewtiful Joe combo -- though you do need a second assist to enable the hard tag that leads into it (like Jam Session).

Doctor Doom

Joe can use all three of Doom's assists well, but the standout by far is Hidden Missiles, which is excellent for both his combos and neutral. Joe can have a bit of the morrigan problem of people stalling him out at superjump height (though red vooms help with this). Missiles removes this counterplay, and additionally allows for uniquely damaging extensions that allow Joe to kill off a single touch. Finally, Joe is great at hard tagging to doom, and can utilize this to great effect.
